被放逐的家园

Homeland to Be Banished

随着青藏铁路的动工修建、南水北调工程的即将实施,以及人类活动半径的不断增大,给原本生态环境脆弱的长江源头地区带来了新的挑战。加上该地区早已存在的冰川退缩、草场退化、土壤沙化和非法采矿、盗猎等系列环境问题,使得长江源头地区的牧民亦面临日益严峻的生存危机。政府虽已下文在当地设立了自然保护区,但实际工作却进展缓慢。目前保护区的规划较多的从自然因素方面进行单纯的考虑,在某种程度上忽视了当地的人文因素,这种不均衡势必会构成保护区发展的潜在威胁,进而影响整个长江源头的生态环境。 2003年4月,绿色江河与中央民族大学的人类学博士生刘源合作,在自然之友“蒲公英”项目和台湾AIRWOLF的资助下,开始了“长江源生态人类学调查”项目。此次调查以描述长江源地区游牧民的生产生活为切入点,引出当地人在生态环境变化的状况下社会行为模式的变迁及再生产,从而更深入地理解文化在人与环境关系中的作用。

Besides, the long-existing environmental problems such as shrinking glacier, degrading pasture and decertifying soil as well as illegal mining and poaching plague the herdsmen in the area, who have to face increasingly serious survival crisis. At the meantime, the gradually frequent ingress of exotic culture and interflow of commodities are bringing greater impact...
